Default GT3 SALE AND EXPERIENCE

Hello everyone I'm new to this site and to Porsche I just placed my order for my first GT3 after doing a lot of research.

I purchased from Porsche of Arlington and I must say not a nice building but the service was great. I promised them that I would everyone know they do have a few more allocations available for whomever is interested. I did have a question what are you guys thoughts on the front axle lift?

The most recent discussions on the axle lift are here:

Do a search on axle lift to find many others. This subject has been endlessly discussed and, nothing personal, but we're all sick of it.

And welcome to the forum!

No worries.... since you seem to be a nice polite fellow I'll summarize the content of all things front axle lift.

50% say Get it! It'll save your bumper some day. Maybe $6k saving.
50% say Don't bother! Save yourself $3k.

if you have a hilly driveway, parking lot or many speed bumps you encounter, then get it. There is also the annoying scratching sound you here even when it is a mild scrap. Since I occasionally scrap my 981 Box s with PASM, I am getting it. When is your car coming in??? If you live the DC area I have a few secret driving roads that will be amazing for the GT3 with no people, no cops and many sharp turns and ups and downs!!!

Congratulations. I ordered my car from Arlington as well. Great to deal with so far and my car is due to arrive 1/2. As for the building, a new one should be finished by year end from what I've been told.
